Kyle, how did you first discover your intuitive gifts, and what led you to pursue a career as an Intuitive Spiritual Consultant?
It’s been quite a journey. I have always been drawn to Tarot cards. When I was 15, someone that was like a second mom to me gave me her Rider Waite deck. Eventually, I started reading for friends, and eventually, even family. For the longest time, I just read for people I knew. And, my readings were always free.
And while I received lots of positive feedback over the years, and many people I read for told me that my readings were accurate, I always felt like something was missing. I was always very literal with the cards almost by the book if that makes sense.
Then when I was 30 I had a really bad breakup, which led me to the woman who would become my teacher and mentor, Robyn Patrick-Mayer CHt., CI. (http://www.keysforchange.com/).
I sought her out for a past life regression because I was in so much pain. I thought discovering my past lives would give me something else to focus on. And, then I started seeing her for intuitive and mediumship readings. She kept telling me that I had strong intuitive gifts, and that I simply needed to get out of my own head.
She challenged me to use the cards as a tool for connecting with Spirit and to ditch the guidebook. Go with the feelings I got from the cards I pulled on an intuitive level. Go with what jumped out at me in the artwork. Not just what the guidebook said and this, I will get more into in the next question. But, something clicked, and my gifts became stronger, and my mediumship skills began to blossom as well.
After years of reading for people for free, I got the courage to start my own Intuitive Spiritual Consultant business. But, instead of offering just your run-of-the-mill Tarot readings, I decided to shift gears and do more intuitive, spiritual consulting. I wanted to help people get the answers they needed. I wanted to help people who were hurting to heal.
Can you explain the process of channeling information from Spirit and how you use cards to facilitate this connection?
When I read for someone, I ask my Spiritual team to help me. I call on my guardian angels, my guides (especially my two main ones, Goldie and Osmond), my Tarot/Oracle teacher on the other side, the guardian of my card decks, and the Archangels, especially Michael, Gabriel, and Haniel. I then ask my client’s team to work with me and my team, so I can get the information they need for their highest good.
Then, I find out what my client wants to know, and I shuffle and pull cards. This is where the channeling part comes in. I look at the cards and see what jumps out for me. When I study a card I pull for someone, my eyes zero in on something in the card imagery that gives me an intuitive hit. It’s like something in that card has a spotlight on it. My go-to card deck also has keywords and phrases on the cards. My eyes usually fixate on at least one of those, which also helps me get even more information from Spirit.
I springboard from there. As I talk to my client about the different cards I pull in relation to their questions and I walk them through what jumps out at me, I start picking up other things they need to know. Sometimes I’ll hear words or phrases in my right ear, which is Spirit talking to me. Sometimes, messages just pop into my head, which I know are intuitive downloads from Spirit. Sometimes I’ll see images.
This process continues throughout the reading. It’s a blast and an honor to work with Spirit in this way.
How do you approach your readings with compassion and healing?
My goal is to always help my clients get what they need for their highest good. But, I always make sure that I do that in a gentle way that shows how much I genuinely care.
Because I’m an empath, I have compassion for my clients and whatever problems they may be having. I truly emphasize with them. And I let them know that. I listen to them. Sometimes, I’ll even cry with them.
For instance, if I’m reading for someone that was just broken up with, and they want to know if their partner is going to come back, and I’m just not seeing that in the cards or getting that from Spirit, I’ll be honest. But, not brutally honest. I’ll let them know that’s just not what I’m seeing and I’m so sorry because I know that’s not what they want to hear. And, if it’s appropriate, I’ll explain that I’ve been in that exact same situation, because I have – and, I know how much it hurts.
But then I’ll ask them if they want to explore what Spirit wants them to know about the ending of this relationship. Because in this type of situation, rejection is usually protection, and getting broken up with (or released as I like to say), was for their highest good. So, by getting their permission to look at what Spirit wants them to know, the information will most likely be healing because the relationship was not meant to be in the first place.
Then I’ll ask them if they want to look at what they need to know about how to manifest a loving relationship with the right partner when they‘re ready. And, if they’re open to that, we’ll go there.
My readings are very collaborative because at the end of the day, I’m truly passionate about helping people, and I want my sessions to offer loving guidance, the most opportunities for my clients to find the answers and clarity they are looking for, and opportunities for healing if that’s what they need.
What role does Angel Numerology play in your readings, and how does it enhance the guidance and clarity you provide to clients?
What I learned while working on my Angel Numerology certification has definitely enhanced the guidance and clarity I am able to provide to my clients because I’m able to get even more information from Spirit.
Numbers on the cards will often jump out at me. And, when that happens, it’s definitely a nudge from Spirit and the Angels. I’ll explore those numbers in terms of what they mean in Angel Numerology in relation to the cards and the questions my clients have.
I actually received my Angel Numerology certification from Radleigh Valentine, who also created several of my go-to Angel Tarot decks. https://school.radleighvalentine.com/numerology
Could you share a memorable experience where a reading or session with a client resulted in significant healing, guidance, or clarity for them?
Absolutely! I actually just reached out to this person to get her permission to share this story. A little over a year ago, I was reading for a friend who I had just reconnected with after 15 years. Her fiancé had recently passed away, and she was hoping I could connect with him. He died of a massive heart attack while she was at work.
My heart just went out to her because I could see how much pain she was in. And, as she was telling me the story, she mentioned his birthday was the next day. So, I asked her if she was going to get him a chocolate cake, and all of a sudden, I heard, “No, carrot cake.”
So, I said to her, “Wait, he didn’t like chocolate cake. He was a carrot cake guy, wasn’t he?” And, she just started laughing because carrot cake was his favorite. And, then I saw an image of one of those carrot cakes with cute little carrots drawn in icing on the top. And, I told her what I saw, and she laughed even harder. Apparently, he was particular about his carrot cake!
Once I knew I had connected with him, I pulled cards to get messages of love for her, which were absolutely beautiful. It was an amazing reading that I’ll never forget.
I’ve always had a passion for reading cards for others, especially when it leads to those “Aha” moments or helps them gain clarity on pressing issues in their lives by seeing things from a new perspective. Realizing how much I cherish this aspect of card readings, I sought out various courses and certifications to deepen my knowledge and conduct readings on a more soul-coaching and healing level.
My favorite types of readings are Soul Coaching® Oracle card and Angel Tarot card readings because, at the end of the day, they empower my clients to realize they already have the answers within them. Soul Coaching Oracle® cards, which I discovered in May 2022, have been instrumental in helping others recognize that their souls are always guiding them, even if they’re not always aware of it. These readings help clients tap into their higher selves and subconscious minds to access the knowledge they need to take control of their lives. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness someone realize their potential and the power they hold within themselves to live their best life.
I also enjoy doing Angel Tarot readings. I’ve found that some people are hesitant about standard Tarot cards, so I turned to Angel Tarot because they offer gentle guidance while still providing clear insights into my clients’ pressing issues. These cards lovingly point my clients towards possible next steps for their highest good.
